Anger's Hold lyrics

Never is a captain of the soul

That will feed upon itself to live

Its minions serve its purpose well

To defeat rationale, and hope

All while in anger's hold

Its lieutenants always near

Envy, jealousy, resentment, fear

They thrive in its wake

Sychophants of spirit

Reveling in unmitigated rage

Envy feeds and it shares

With anger and jealousy

Always creton's companions

They invite resentment in

And fear comes to feast

Anxiety serves them well

A noble spread of contempt

Where shame is covered over

And guilty are not able to see

For embarrassment would come

There is a great loneliness

That annoyance tries to deny

The ever growing frustration

Of acceptance's anticipation

All while in anger's hold
